What temp should a tb42 run at?

[Poodog]

Just want to know what temp in Celsius they should run at Got aftermarket gauge with a calibrated temp sender

Cheers

I think the patrols run a 85 or 86 degree thermostat..

So is that a some what of a standed running temp? What would be the higher end of the scale as I don't mind a bit of right foot and I do a bit of towing.

I'd be getting worried if it rose to 120 deg
You running coolant ?

MY temp at this time of year is sitting at an average of 81-83 but when towing its sitting at about 85-86 and when doing a hill climb on a track it gets to nearly 90....... These figures will change as I have not run this set up for a full year yet.

Yer mate running coolant the gauge on the dash moves around abit in a short space of time on a reasonably flat road and I only but a new head on it last week just want To see what a new gauge reads

They run an 82 degree c thermostat. If it's a genuine one that is. Aftermarket might be different. But mine runs about the same as Bloodyaussie.
